Amazon gets Apple to remove an application that questioned their "reviews"

An app that analyzes Amazon reviews to determine which ones are fake, will no longer be available on iOS. Amazon has successfully convinced Apple to permanently remove it from the App Store after the company raised concerns that the app provided misleading information and created potential security vulnerabilities. The e-commerce giant has confirmed that it reported Fakespot. One of its biggest concerns - Amazon explained to the North American news outlet Engadget - was that the redesigned application that Fakespot launched in June "wraps" and injects code into its website.

This technique would, in theory, allow the application to collect data and put confidential customer information, including credit card numbers, at risk. The retail giant contacted Fakespot directly to address its security concerns, and apparently the app owner took no action. Fakespot founder and CEO Saoud Khalifah admitted that his company collected some user data, but said it did not sell information to third parties. Furthermore, it denied Amazon's claim that the app presents security risks. "We do not steal user information, we never have. They have shown zero evidence and Apple acted in the litigation with zero evidence," he told the publication. Apparently, Apple did not give his company adequate warning before the app was removed, and did not even give his company a chance to rectify any issues the tech giant might have.

Malaysian city police chief Hakemal Hawari told Dayak Daily that theft of power for mining operations has been so rampant this year that three houses were burned as a result of illegal electrical connections.
